Julian Assange: UFO details found in WikiLeaks cables

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has revealed unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are mentioned in some of the diplomatic cables which have been handed over to the website.

In a live Q&A session with The Guardian, Assange explained WikiLeaks is frequently inundated with ‘weirdos’ claiming they have discovered UFOs, but added it has been found officials have also been discussing the issue.

‘It is worth noting that in yet-to-be-published parts of the cablegate archive there are indeed references to UFOs,’ he said.

Assange also took the opportunity to praise the person who leaked the documents to the website, stating that he should be viewed as an ‘unparalleled hero’ for his actions.

The source of the leak is believed to be soldier Bradley Manning, who was mentioned by name by Assange, although the WikiLeaks founder did not confirm he was the insider.

Wikileaks has been handed more than 250,000 documents relating to 250 US embassies across the world, leading to a series of damaging revelations.

The latest include criticism of the British military by Afghan president Hamid Karzai and a description of Gordon Brown as a prime minster with an ‘abysmal track record’ by American diplomats at the US embassy in London.
